Putting N-numbers on the gear doors does not provide any meaningful competitive advantage. And it does not show up in the flight log. So we would not be concerned with this in the OLC. Is there a sporting aspect to the presence of night lights ? Does it provide any competitive advantage ? Or does it show up in the flight log ??? -- Denis R. Parce que ça rompt le cours normal de la conversation !!! Q. Pourquoi ne faut-il pas répondre au-dessus de la question ? The flying past sunset does give a competitive advantage, since it extends the length of the day, and therefore the distance covered. And it does show up in the flight log. Since night lighting is very rare on gliders, the pilot needs to make a note on the OLC claim if the glider was equipped with lights. Now as for whether we should allow night flight in gliders equipped with lights, FAI has not yet covered this in the Sporting Code. It still permits night flight with lights. Obviously, night cross country in gliders is very dangerous, due to the possibility of an outlanding in a dark field, so I hope we don't have to wait until someone dies to address this. |
